Shwesandaw Phaya in Bagan. This temple was built in 1057 by King Anawrahta (fig.) to enshrine some sacred hairs of the Buddha. The pinnacle of this stupa reportedly has a height of 99.9 meters, making it on of the tallest pagodas of Bagan and dwarfing Sabbannu Phaya (fig.), i.e. the area's tallest Buddhist temple with a height of just over 60 meters.

The terraces of Shwesandaw Phaya can be reached by any of four steep stairways and the topmost level (fig.) offers a panoramic view of the surroundings.
